Umbrella Contracts for Statewide Utility Installation and Maintenance Services

The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation is soliciting qualified contractors through an Umbrella Contracts Request for Proposal for Utility Installation and Maintenance Services. This statewide procurement opportunity applies to Windsor County and Newport Center CDP in Vermont and seeks to qualify and re-qualify contractors capable of performing utility installation and maintenance work across multiple service categories. While the specific details of deliverables, key objectives, required qualifications, and evaluation criteria are contained in the primary RFP document (Utility_Installation_Maintenance_Services_03132026.pdf), which was unavailable for review, the procurement is structured to establish multiple umbrella contracts for ongoing utility services. Individual projects awarded under these umbrella contracts will be capped at $120,000.00, with all associated costs including labor, materials, and equipment incorporated within this project limit. The proposal due date is March 27, 2026, with the opportunity posted on March 13, 2026, providing a 14-day submission window for interested contractors.

The procurement documents, including Attachment H (Umbrella Price Schedule for Contractor), which would typically outline pricing structures, cost categories, and specific service rate requirements, were inaccessible during this analysis and therefore could not be reviewed for set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise provisions, incumbent vendor information, or specific integration requirements. Based on the structure described, cumulative contract values across all awarded umbrella contracts may be substantial, though individual project awards are restricted to the $120,000.00 maximum threshold. Interested contractors should obtain complete RFP documentation and pricing schedules directly from the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation to ensure full compliance with all qualifications, submission requirements, and evaluation criteria prior to the March 27, 2026 deadline.
